Battlefield 2142

[Brewster0101]

Battlefield 2142 is a poor mans copy of Battlefield 2.

Strange thing is Battlefield 2 matured quite well and works well now. But they kept updating the engine and stuff in 2142 and screwed it up even more.

Stick with BF2, better maps and better fun.

Amen to that.

I played 2142 for a bit. I enjoyed it tbh. But once I maxed out one rank of acheievement (all the way up past my alternative gun) it got boring.

It was the way that there was no teamplay, no one did anything together, it was all ffa.

You even got teamkilled because you jumped into a walker that someone else wanted. It started to seem like Halo: Combat Evolved when you jumped into a server of noobs that had been playing 4 hours and thought they were the best.

Yet again, on 2142 it wasn't just noobs. It was everyone else as well.


Now then.. if someone could just release a graphics update for 1942... I liked that game, 'part from the blockish graphics.

i've binned 2142 AND bf2...they both drive me insane.

2142- buggy as hell

bf2 works fine.....apart from RADIO SPAMMING!!! i played it for the first time in months the other day and after 50 x "enemy spotted" radio spams i left the game and uninstalled.

i'll wait for BF3

It's obvious that BF2142, Bad Company and BF:Heroes are ALL experimental projects of EA so that BF3 is a masterpiece.

There's would be no other logical reason for EA to release BF:Heroes FOR FREE after all
